This seminar will focus on the innovations and ritual systems of the Guhyasamāja Tantra. Readings will be in both Sanskrit and Tibetan. Particular attention will be paid to chapters two, five, eight, and thirteen of the root tantra, and to gain a clearer understanding of how early tantric Buddhists of India and Tibet interpreted these chapters, we will also consider Candrakīrti’s Pradīpodyotana and other commentarial material. Secondary literature on the Guhyasamāja ritual tradition will also be consulted.
